Description

GPX4-IN-5 is a covalent inhibitor of GPX4 (IC50: 0.12 μM). GPX4-IN-5 can induce ferroptosis and has anti-tumor effects. GPX4-IN-5 can be used in the study of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)[1].

IC50 & Target

IC50: 0.12 μM (GPX4)[1]

In Vitro

GPX4-IN-5 (Compound 18) (72 hours) has antitumor activity against TNBC cells (MDA-MB-468, BT-549, MDA-MB-468) with IC50s of 0.01, 0.075, and 0.012 μM, respectively.
GPX4-IN-5 (1 μM, 72 hours) is unable to effectively kill MDA-MB-231 cells induced by ferroptosis inhibitors (Ferrostatin-1 (HY-100579), Acetylcysteine (HY-B0215), L-Glutathione reduced (HY-D0187)), indicating that it relies on ferroptosis to exert its potent cell-killing effect[1].
GPX4-IN-5 (5-20 nM, 8 hours) increases Fe2+ and ROS levels in MDA-MB-231 cells, leading to LPOs accumulation and inducing ferroptosis[1].
GPX4-IN-5 (20 nM, 6 hours) causes mitochondrial volume reduction, cristae disappearance, and outer membrane rupture in MDA-MB-231 cells, which are consistent with the characteristics of ferroptosis[1].
GPX4-IN-5 (1 hour) has significant inhibitory activity against GPX4 (IC50: 0.12 μM)[1].
GPX4-IN-5 (1 μM, 2 hours) decreases the degradation temperature of GPX4 in MDA-MB-231 cells as determined by Celular Thermal shift Assay, indicating that it can directly bind to GPX4[1].
GPX4-IN-5 (50-800 nM, 90 minutes) has a strong covalent bond formation ability with GPX4 (Kinact/KI: 93.54 min/M)[1].
GPX4-IN-5 (20 nM) slightly increases LPO in MDA-MB-231 cells transfected with siGPX4#1, and the levels of GPX4-related proteins does not change significantly, indicating that it induces cell ferroptosis by specifically targeting GPX4 protein[1].
GPX4-IN-5 (5-20 nM, 10 hours) inhibits GPX4 activity rather than downregulating GPX4 levels to induce ferroptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Western Blot Analysis

Cell Line: MDA-MB-231 cells
Concentration: 5, 10, 20 nM
Incubation Time: 4, 6 8, 10 h
Result: Showed a decrease in the expression levels of negative regulatory proteins of ferroptosis (GPX4 and FTH1), and the decrease in FTH1 was associated with abnormal iron metabolism.
Showed that the expression level of the xCT system was not downregulated, indicating that it was not inhibited.
Caused a compensatory upregulation of GPX4 expression within 6 hours, and then decreased after 8 hours.

In Vivo

GPX4-IN-5 (Compound 18) (5-20 mg/kg, i.p., once a day for 21 consecutive days) has significant anti-tumor activity in the MDA-MB-231 xenograft tumor BALB/C nude mouse model, and has no obvious damage to kidney, liver and heart function[1].
GPX4-IN-5 (20 mg/kg, i.p., once a day for 14 consecutive days) has no obvious blood toxicity, does not cause bone marrow suppression, and has no obvious damage to kidney, liver and heart function in the BALB/C nude mouse model[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: BALB/c nude mice (female, aged 4 weeks) injected with MDA-MB-231 (8 million cells)[1]
Dosage: 5, 10, 20 mg/kg
Administration: i.p. once a day, 21 consecutive days
Result: Showed excellent tumor growth inhibition (TGI) ranging from 50.4% to 81.0%.
Showed no obvious drug-related damage in organs such as heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney.
Can significantly reduce the level of GPX4 protein in tumor tissues, indicating that it can effectively induce ferroptosis in vivo.
Reduced the number of Ki67-positive tumor cells and inhibited the proliferation of tumor cells.
Animal Model: BALB/c nude mice (female, aged 4 weeks)[1]
Dosage: 20 mg/kg
Administration: i.p. once a day, 14 consecutive days
Result: Showed no significant differences in ALT, AST, BUN, CREA, LDH, and CK, indicated that the kidney, liver, and heart functions of the mice were not significantly damaged.
Has no obvious blood toxicity and did not cause bone marrow suppression, which is manifested by no significant changes in white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC) and hemoglobin (HGB).

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
